I tried all combinations to enter in recovery mode in a Archos 35 Home Connect to install SDE firmware, without success.
I asked to archos support and they wrote me this:
"Turn the device OFF, then press the power button of the device and while the 1 st boot screen is on the screen press twice the power button to start the device in recovery mode."
But when I power on and hold the power button, it never pass to banner logo, reboot again in white screen. If I press power button twice in the white screen (instead banner logo), the boot stop and stay in white screen and hold waiting, and no continue boot, but never show the recovery screen.
So, i'm doing something wrong or recovery doesn't work. If any has success with this, it would be hepful.
has any body found how to do this? as I would like to know too.
Press the power button twice during displaying the first boot logo. It is a bit tricky.

no luck yet at entering the recovery mode though. i have tried about three or four times with quick double presses and longer slower double presses.
does a second boot logo screen show when you go into recovery mode or does it just stop at one boot logo screen?
I have not installed anything bootable yet.
It says by the power button "RESET: 10 sec". Has any one tried this?
I want to root following these instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=930197
but holding down the "Vol-" button does not work.
Hello divx118
Still no luck in entering the download mode, is it two quick presses on the power button or two long presses?
Exactly which screen do I do these two presses, the boot screen goes
1. white screen.
2. Black screen.
3. a screen showing the still "Archos entertainment your way" logo.
4. a screen showing the moving "Archos entertainment your way" logo.
I am running firmware version 2.4.82
Sorry, it was a long time ago I did it. It should be like this:
- Press and hold the power button until the ARCHOS banner is displayed and then release it.
- Press the power button twice (like a mouse double-click) while the banner is still displaying.
- A white Recovery screen should appear within a couple of seconds.
- To move from one option to another, press the power button. To select the highlighted item, hold down on the power button.

Don't forget the first step hold the power button until the first archos banner appears so the first screen with the "Archos entertainment your way" logo.
BTW the 10 second hold down of the power button is like a hard reset if the device hangs it will be forced to power down.

Are you guys rooting your home connect? If so, what are you doing after root?
Shouting I have rootzzz....
Sorry couldn't resist.
Access to recovery has multiple advantages:
1) If you really mess up your device or it does funny things you can reformat and reinstall original firmware in recovery.
2) You can install SDE and flash another kernel so you can also boot other OS for example openaos multiboot to boot debian, Gingerbread etc.
Is option 2 usefull for the home connect, no if you just have it sitting on a table and use it like it is supposed to be and yes if you like to play around with gadgets to learn new things.

I had some luck but only two times after hundred tries . It's very difficult to enter in recovery method. If archos not solve this in a more easy way you can broke the power button trying to enter in recovery. If someone could make a software to reboot into recovery by software, should be more hepful.

By software you need to be root and with adb shell type the command :
Code:
# reboot_into recovery
Thanks alephzain, I knew the script, but as you said only work for root, and previousloy you must enter in recovery. Finally after some hundreds of intents, I got the trick. I hope it should be usefull for some. The doble click with power button it's difficult to do in the exact time so I did this:
1. Power off
2. Power on and hold the power button for about 6 seconds
3. Do clicks in power button like a crazy men until banner appears.
4. But the most important is to stop doing clicks previously recovery window appears, because power button in recovery it's also the select option and if you don't stop, you will quit from recovery. It's very tricky, but with some tries you got it.
Now my archos home connect is rooted, and like alephzain "reboot_into recovery" works.
Any other instructions?
Hi!
I've read all the instructions in this forum and succeded in entering the recovery menu once. Then I installed the SDE firmware. Now when I start the device the first screen is a white screen and the method described in the above post doesn't work anymore.
The problem is the same as the original post describes:

Does anybody that has succeded in rooting their Archos 35 home connect remember how they entered the recovery menu after they did the SDE firmware installation?
Same Problem
I've got exaclty the same problem! After flashing the SDE I cannot get into recovery anymore. Booting the stock rom still works.
I also have adb-access in stock-rom, but I'm not root so I cannot set the 'reboot_into recovery'.
Anyone solve that problem?
feesna THE
I find out this method:
- Plug in usb-cable (and of course power supply)
- Press and hold down power button. for 5seconds. Release the button for just 1sec and press the power button again for 5sec. Release it again for 1sec and press an hold again (always the same procedure). At a couple of time, the screen get black. Immediatly release the power button.
- Now there should be a bootmenu, where you have 3 choices (Android, Developer, Recovery). Choose recovery, to enter recovery.
note: If you see the still archos logo, you already loose to enter bootmenu!
Feel free to improve timings/procedure to enter bootmenu!

This method does not work if the SDE is installed. You get a white screen, and there seems to be no way to get into the recovery menu. I've contacted ARCHOS support about this, but not confident that I'll get a reply.
According to this archos.com/support/support_tech/updates_dev.html?country=us&lang=en then the HOME CONNECT 35 is not even listed. I've tried both methods listed (hoping that the HC35 would be the same as the A28):
The recovery is triggered by powering on the device while pressing the 'volume down' button (or 3 consecutive short press on the power button for the A28)

I've read in different forums (English and German) that some people have been sucessful, however nobody has described how they acheived it.
The ADB command REBOOT RECOVERY also doesn't work.
Any tips from the experts would be appreciated.

Of course I read your text, that's why I quoted it. It doesn't work for me. Sure the white screen comes up, I press for 5 seconds release for 1 and repeat until the screen goes black. The white screen comes back for a while followed by the ARCHOS logo. Tried with & without USB cable, with and without MicroSD card. All results the same. No recovery menu.
Firmware 2.4.83
Board version A35DM-V7
OMAP version es1.2
Boot version unknown / 4.04.000000

That's strange. It work's for me every time! With and without USB cable works equal for me:
Power off -> Hold Power on 5-6sec (white screen appears) -> 1-2sec release -> 5-6sec press+hold -> 1-2sec release -> 5-6sec press+hold -> 1-2sec release -> press+hold again and after ~2sec screen get black. Release button immedialtly! The Archos logo appears for a fraction of a second (it just blinks) and for me a white screen with the bootmenu appears.
This method works every time for me! I have to do it to boot the developer kernel (I don't want to delete the original android fw). Did you install SDE without problems?

I had no issues installing the sde. I could get into the menu no issue before sde.
What board + boot version do you have? I wonder why mine says unknown.

Exactly everything the same as yours! I installed the SDE a second time (copied the .aos file to the internal sd-storage and execute it with filemanager). Could that be the reason?
I have new galaxy tab 10.1 which I am planning to root, however I cannot get unit to enter download mode. I have tried unsuccessfully at least 20 times using the recommended method of turning the unit completely off then holding the vol-/power buttons. I press the vol- slightly ahead of the power button and hold. All I get is the samsung splash looping over and over with no download or recovery menu icons popping up after the samsung splash. Once I let go, the tab will go into android recovery mode with the option to reboot which takes me to where I started. I have followed all of the tutorials to the tee. Is there another way to get to download mode? Should I take it back if this indicates a more serious problem.
I have also done a factory wipe/reset to no avail. Will vol+ / power do anything?
thanks for your interest I would appreciate any help.

I seem to recall that at least one variant swapped the button around. In any case, it can't hurt to try volume up.
Here's what you do - first, shut the device off by holding power down and waiting for the confirmation.
Then, when it's off, hold the volume down button (to the left side, next to the power button.) Holding that down, press and hold the power button. When you see it light up, release the power button but continue to hold volume down until you see the recovery/download icons.
If doing that doesn't work, try volume up and power. Good luck!
Ill try your suggestions. thank you

I'm having a similar problem. I have a galaxy tab 10.1 wifi that I rooted immediately when I got it. I havn't used it in about 4-5 months. I've already done all the odin and download stuff, but now i want to update my cwm and install a JB rom (I'm currently using aokp). I'm having a funny problem with it now -- Its difficult to turn on and impossible to get into download mode.
In order to turn on my tab, I have to hold down the power, connect the charging cable and get the download screen to turn on, then hold down the power again, wait for the screen to turn off, unplug the power and hold the power button until hopefully it turns on again. And this doesn't always work, sometimes I have to do it a few times. But whenever i've tried do the same thing that gets the tab working normally -- only holding the down volume as well as the power, Nothing happens.
Now once its on and working, things work great, but turning it on is a pain and its impossible for me to bring up the download or recovery option.
I've also tried to 'reboot to bootloader' and that doesn't work, although i can still 'reboot to recovery'
Any tips?

I have almost the exact same problem...
Volume up puts me into download mode and i can connect with Kies but it wont do the JB update
Voulume down ... nothing just boots
if i let it try to do the OTA update it will freeze at the boot screen and stay that way till the battery dies.
To get it to work again i have to do almost exactly what was decribe above..
I have no recovery options at all.
also my Tab is "NOT" rooted

I had a similar problem initially... the screen would just flash the "downloading" message, but the tablet wouldn't mount/connect to my laptop. Here's the solution:
1) launch odin
2) connect usb cable to laptop only
3) power down tablet
4) hold down the power volume down buttons together
5) when you see the downloading message, let go of the power button
6) let go of the volume down button (now just displays "downloading" message, but nothing happens
7) press volume UP
8) you'll get a message about installing custom ROMs and be given the option to do so by pressing volume UP again
9) the tablet mounts and connects to odin
10) from there follow the instructions for flashing recovery via odin (i.e., using PDA button...)
FYI just double check the guides again regarding download and recovery modes. In the thread title you mention Tab 2. This is the forum for the original Tab not the Tab 2. Both devices have different methods and key presses to access the various modes.

I'm a bit of a noob at terminology and android settings so try to bear with me...
I'm running a deodexed vzw CleanRom v1.6.5 and I've downloaded TWRP recovery via gooManager. (Yes I've installed the recovery script from it.) Back when I had a stock rom, when I held the power + the volume up button it would go into TWRP recovery fine. But now (I don't know if it's CleanRom's fault) when I start up the phone into recovery mode using the shortcut the blue text would appear but it would restart normally.
My stock backup was corrupted for some reason and it softbricked my phone so I had to odin flash and go through all that rooting process again before restoring from my CleanRom backup via TWRP. So I don't really want to go back to stock, but I guess I can download a stock one if I really need to.
I can still enter TWRP by going into gooManager and pressing reboot recovery from there. Any solution to this?
I'm also on CleanRom 1.6.5 and it works for me... Vol up+power

To get mine to boot to recovery while phone is off I have to hold volume + and menu key at the same time. Then hit the power button until it vibrates then let go of the power button. If I keep holding the power button then the blue writing is displayed but instead of going into recovery it just reboots. However if I only hit the power button and release when it vibrates and I am still holding the volume + and menu key then it will boot to twrp recovery.
Alright, I'm feeling pretty foolish.
It was a simple user error that I really hate to admit. If I hold down the volume up and the power button and keep holding down both, the phone restarts as normal. But I should be letting go of the power button when the phone vibrates, while holding down the volume up button keeps it loading into the recovery mode. Don't know why I didn't have that problem before. I attempted Travis' idea first then experimented a little without the menu button and it worked fine.
Thanks.
Glad you got it figured out. :good:

True and that is what he said he has been doing. However what if you flash something and you get a boot loop. You can pull the battery and try again but if it boot loops again you will need to be able to get to your recovery with a non booting phone. That is why it is important to know how to boot the phone into recovery with out the need of any apps.

Precisely my thought process. I knew that at some time I'm bound to softbrick my phone again and I needed to boot recovery from startup.
So here's the deal. Yesterday after being at work all day, I came home and unlocked my tablet. A bunch of errors popped up right away about the launcher crashing and a few other things. I powered it down and turned it back on...and that's as far as I got. Every time I try to boot it gets stuck on the boot logo. I was able to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery mode and flashed xboxexpert's custom rom...but still no luck. The stupid thing won't boot and I'm out of ideas. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Bump? I need help here guys.
My friend's tablet wouldn't boot he opened the back cover unplugged the battery and used a universal charger on it for a few hours then when he tried it again it worked. Although he wasn't rooted and on stock firmware. Have you tried holding down the power and volume up for a few minutes?

Not sure what that would accomplish. Did it anyway tho and nothing happened...just started to boot up then turned back off.

Did you try going into recovery mode by holding Power and volume up at the same time until recovery mode pops up?
in recovery mode use volume up/down to scroll and power to select just select "Reboot Now"

1.Completely shut down the device(by pressing power down button for about 20s)
2.Try the Power + Vol Up combo again(keep them pressed until amazon logo disapears)
3.If you don't see anything, try twice or thrice again
If you are finally able to get access to TWRP, then follow my instructions here :
